I HATE the broadcast cam style they put in RTG on field goals/punts. I don't know why anyone would want to play an entire game that way. The main camera used now has its faults, don't get me wrong, but I just don't understand the frustration for not being able to play with the broadcast cam angle.

Well, for one it makes you rely more on timing your receivers routes and makes you do your defensive reads in 2-4 seconds like real QB's.
I found playing this angle:
1. eliminated the "30 yard drop" and "scramble from sideline to sideline" type of
gameplay. I know madden players who hate this angle because of the fact that you cant just drop back and heave ho.
2. makes the passing game more fun and realistic to play. Instead of just "drop and pop", now you have to really rely on timing.
3. Makes the player learn how to read defenses better.

To each his own though..

This +10. It's called preference. It's the same reason why not everyone drives the same type of vehicle or wears the same type of clothes. We want to enjoy the game with a different camera angle.

Good point voodoo.

One thing that was a feature in one of the PC games back in the day (I think maybe it was Operation Sports Football or something like that) was a picture-in-picture feature. You would drop back, hit a button to cycle through receivers to see how open they were (or weren't). It was a small window in the corner of the screen that would pop up. Made it an awful lot like reading receivers and deciding where to go with the ball.

Now THAT would be a great feature for the future. Would really ramp up the realism factor when throwing the ball.

Food for thought...

it's very easy to throw deep passing routes on broadcast cam. u just have to watch whether or not the receiver has a step on the DB 1st 10 yards. at the same time, locate whether S will come up or play deep. it's very simple--not hard at all. it's great playing human vs cpu.

In other words, what happens in real life.

If you can use the "coach cam" in online dynasty human vs human games, I'm going to wet myself.
